Delivering Accuracy. Driving Compliance. Empowering Industry.

When it comes to measuring weight with reliability and consistency, nothing matches the performance of weigh cells. These advanced sensors form the backbone of industrial, commercial, and retail weighing systems, ensuring that every measurement is precise — from laboratory balances to heavy-duty truck scales.

At Sensors and Gauges, we supply a complete range of weigh cells in Australia, helping businesses across industries achieve accuracy, compliance, and operational efficiency.

What Are Weigh Cells?

Weigh cells (also known as load cells) are force measurement devices that convert weight or force into an electrical signal. This signal is then processed and displayed as an exact reading on a weighing system.

Whether you are weighing a few grams in a laboratory or several tonnes in a transport yard, weigh cells provide the accuracy and durability required.

How Do Weigh Cells Work?

The working principle of weigh cells is based on strain gauge technology:

1. Weight is applied to the platform or structure.

2. The weigh cell deforms slightly under load.

3. Strain gauges inside detect this deformation.

4. Electrical resistance changes in response to strain.

5. The signal is amplified and converted into a precise weight reading.

This seamless process ensures fast, reliable, and repeatable measurements.
